Matt Smile Challenge (impossible)

It's the way Matt pushes Dex off the building that does it to me. The way he has to lean on Dex for a moment before just shoving him over. Like there was no thought given to it. Just you killed my best friend, prepare to die. And the fact that Dex lived. That he survived that fall. Matt must have felt both relief and bitterness. That Dex survived when Foggy couldn't.

I'm not okay yall.

The Matt and Karen vs Vanessa and Fisk of it all

Not me not shutting up as usual.

It's pretty evident that Karen and Matt vs Fisk and Vanessa are meant to be seen as units when it comes to parallels and foils.

This gets more in line with Karedevil because thematically and writing wise is what makes more sense. If that bothers you, please don't read it.

Vanessa and Fisk do love each other but they love nothing else. Their love makes them even worse people, it makes them more selfish, more brutal, more unrelenting.

Vanessa kills Adam (that, like Frank is right in the middle of the shot) because she knows Fisk won't do it so she will. For him. For them.

Theorically, we were also meant to see the flip side of that and I believe (again nin shipper, I'm just being objective here) that Karen and Matt are there representation of that.

In just a few minutes Karen got to show Matt that, like Foggy, she sees all of him (and it was left implied that like Foggy she loves all of him) but the main difference here is that she pushes Matt to be better, she forgives him his transgressions and loves him in spite of them.

But Karen is one of the reasons Matt went through one of his biggest character arcs (the one of letting people in). She made him see he wasn't alone, that he he has her, and I think she probably regrets having left.

But I do think Vanessa and Fisk are meant to show the dark side of love while Matt and Karen are the representation of the light, healthy side of that love. Potentially, even though Karen obviously has feelings for Frank.

Both foil each other, contrast each other and parallel each other. I believe this is meant to establish them as THE couples of the story, but for different reasons.

I think is disingenuous to believe that they'd get Matt and Karen together just due to the comics. There's enough textual and visual cues on both the Netflix and Disney parts of this that lead me see that as possibility.
